Shonen Double Feature #1 available October 14th

Crucial Crisis Comix is proud to announce that Shonen Double Feature will make its long awaited debut on October 14th.  
Shonen Double Feature #1 is a black and white, 52 page double feature chronicling the adventures of Lighting Rod: Defender of Crimson, and The Brooklyn Blur. The book was first released at the Boston Comic Con this past April as part of the inaugural GI Challenge but will now be available for purchase through our main site, GI Comics and for digital download exclusively through Cloud 9 Comix.  

Lighting Rod:  

Is the bizarre coming of age story of a boy named Rodney Lake.  Born in the city of Crimson, Maryland, Rodney gained fantastic powers on a stone-cold fluke, and uses them to defend his beloved city from the forces of evil, up to and including Crimson's "evil" Mayor, A.H. Fury.  Lovers of absurdest comedy and superhero action will enjoy this tale of a neurotic high school student's rise from self-imposed obscurity to becoming his city's greatest champion.

Brooklyn Blur:  

Brooklyn Blur follows the mile-a-minute life of comic book artist Daniela Haskins as she juggles her career and family life with the trials of her alter ego, The Brooklyn Blur.  High paced action and humor combine with themes of loyalty and responsibility to paint the picture of a young woman haunted by her past but always looking hopefully towards the future.
